I'm cursed with empathy. I'm also by nature way too opinionated.

I get drunk writing words. I don't drink or do drugs, but I get so carried away with writing that I get inebriated from it.

I do try to be of some use in the world. I sometimes do volunteer work with kids, and manage to help some people a little, but really making a significant difference can be hard.

Misha's importance and distinctiveness are beginning to be noticed, there's beginning to be some kind of rip-tide here that will soon become a wave of recognition for a book that the world is beginning to catch up to... We weren't ready before. We'd better be ready now. Because it's the 21st century, any minute now, and that means that Misha's time has come. In more ways than one.

Innocence could be considered a discrete state of mind.

People in extreme conditions are suddenly naked, realer than normal, perhaps even more alive.

As far as I know Misha wrote the first cyberpunk poetry.
